Clément Orillard

Clément Orillard is a lecturer at the EUP (École d’Urbanisme de Paris – Paris School of Urban Planning). His current research focuses on a social history of urban planning since the 1940s in terms of two objects: the planning and development of the Paris urban area, and the international exportation of this expertise. With Antoine Picon, he is the co‑editor of De la ville nouvelle à la ville durable : Marne-la-Vallée, and is a member of the research collective “Inventer le Grand Paris – histoire croisée des métropoles” (“Inventing Greater Paris – A Comparative History of Metropolises”).

He has recently published “Between Shopping Malls and Agoras. A French History of Protected Public Space” (in Michiel Dehaene and Lieven De Cauter (eds.), Heterotopia and the City: Public Space in a Postcivil Society, London, Routledge, 2008) and “Tracing Urban Design’s ‘Townscape’ Origins. Some Relationships Between a British Editorial Policy and an American Academic Field” (Urban History, vol. 36, no. 2, 2009).
